I'm looking for a .22lr semi-auto, primarily as an "understudy" gun for my XD9sc....but one small & light enough to be an occasional CCW or BUG. I had almost decided on the Bersa. 22lr when Ruger introduced the SR22. Now I'm torn b/t the two..... Has anyone here handled/shot both of these...

One of the criticisms I hear about moon-clip revolvers is that the clips are fragile and easily bent, binding up the revolver. I want to ask those who own these type of revolvers a few questions.... 1. How fragile are your moon clips? 2. How often do you have to replace / discard moon clips...

I'm eyeing the PD POLY in. 410/.45LC, & I have a question about its construction.... How is the polymer "attached" to the steel frame of the gun? Is it bonded onto it like a finish, or is it attached like a pickup truck bedliner...with gaps that can allow moisture to get in and corrode...

Hope y'all can help me with this.... I know you can modify the Beretta 92 magazines to fit & function in a Taurus PT92. But I think I read somewhere that the magazine release parts from a Beretta 92 could be installed in a PT92 so that the PT92 would be able to use Beretta 92 mags only. Is...

I'm looking for a good kydex IWB holster for my XDsc 9mm. I've looked hard at the Comp-Tac Infidel, and I'd like info about it from its users. Also, I'd like to know if there are any others I should consider.... Also, a friend recommended that I get the full-sized XD holster because the extra...

After watching a recent episode of Sons Of Guns (and shaking my head a lot at the thought of an 8" derringer being considered a "ladies' gun"), I started thinking..... Is there any hard data being collected that shows what type of handguns are being bought by women....esp. first-time buyers...

I usually keep a 9mm pistol in a gun safe in my truck. I don't have my CHL yet (haven't had time to take the class & can't carry d/t my job....but I plan to get it ASAP). When I travel overnight, I usually pack a pistol in my luggage to keep in the hotel (plus I like having a spare handy). The...

My BIL has an old Spanish double-barrel shotgun that he wants to get restocked. The old buttstock is shattered at the wrist and is unrepairable. The forend is in good shape, but it'll probably need to be replaced to match the buttstock. Does anyone have any suggestions for someone who can do...

At a recent gun show, I had an interesting discussion with a few other attendees about the effectiveness of the .410 shotgun loads in both long guns and handguns. Quite a few people believe that the .410 buckshot and slug loads are ineffective, while those persons who actually have shot living...

http://www.2ndamendmenttv.com/videos/shotguns/aa-12.html I see its use as a great semi-auto platform, but full-auto?.... :confused:

http://www.2ndamendmenttv.com/videos/shotguns/lost-arts-pt-1.html ....the history and "usefulness" of cutting on shotgun shells.... It seemed to work for them.....but I'm thinking that it's more like playing Russian Roulette with hand grenades...... :rolleyes:

I think I'm going to have to give in to my craving for a plinkable .22lr autopistol soon. I've had a Buckmark before, but I sold it long ago (needed the money more than I liked the gun). I've looked at the usual suspects (Ruger 22/45, S&W 22A, Beretta Neos, etc.) and I'm impressed, but...

Will a Serbu Shorty cycle and fire the 12ga. mini-shells made by Aguilla and Centurion? Seems like a good way to increase the Serbu's ammo capacity... Thanks in advance... :D

With Rossi's Mare's Leg coming out soon, I've added it to my "Must Have" list. But I did have a question for anyone who may own a version (either the Chiappa/Legacy version or or the other one).... The handgrip portion looks pretty smooth. Would it be possible to add a modified Pachmayer...

After seeing some of the ankle holster offerings out there (including one for a full-sized 1911! :o ), I was wondering about this board's experience....what is the biggest handgun you've ever carried (or attempted to carry) in an ankle holster?.... ...by "biggest", it can be designated by...

After a trip to my favorite gunstore (Praco, Waco TX), I've got the itch to bring another one home.... I've been planning to get a .22lr revolver for awhile, and I'd like a lightweight DA one for plinking, snake/critter defense, backup/backup-for-backup pistol, and as an understudy to my other...

I'm getting an itch to buy a snub revolver. At first, I'd planned to get one chambered in .38SPL...leaning toward a LCR or S&W or Charter Arms "hammerless airweights". But then Taurus came out with the Public Defender in .410 shotshell....and the decision got harder. Since this will be a gun...

Reading through my latest SHOTGUN NEWS ANNUAL, I noticed several ads for the Polish P64, CZ82, and other 9mm Mak pistols at relatively bargain prices. It started me thinking about the 9mm Mak round and the recent lack of .380ACP ammo. Could 9mm Mak (with its ammo availability, firearm prices...

Can anyone tell me what Arkansas law says about carrying a pistol in your vehicle? I'm travelling there in a few weeks, and I wanted to know if the law was similar to Texas law (legal to carry in car w/o permit). Also, is there any prohibition to carrying a folding knife on your person? In...

Is it just me....or is .40S&W getting less expensive than 9mm in most places? Just curious.....
